It's in Da shoes...

Both my daughter and I are somewhat closet sneakerheads - From Adidas Consortium to Ed Hardy (for her) to Nike Dunk's we like them all. (especially Adidas Y-3!)

So while cruising the world wide web over the weekend I found some super cool shoes from a small company in France called Veja that are also very eco conscious. Check out the The-Grid by Veja

C.U.R.B

I found this cool little gem of eco wisdom on The Alternative consumer. What a great way to start a green 2009!

The new year ushers in an avalanche of ‘Trends for 2009′ posts and resolutions to get ‘greener.’ My contribution to the mudslide of eco-friendly pronouncements is my green acronyms for 2009 - C.U.R.B.

C - conserve - waste less water, energy, time and materials.

U - unplug - go off-grid: walk, bike, hike and get out in nature.

R - reuse - bags, food containers, clothes, paper. You get the idea.

B - believe - all the small changes made by individuals can make a giant difference.
